It is likely that the concept of fractional numbers dates to prehistoric times. Even the Ancient Egyptians wrote math texts describing how to convert general fractions into their special notation. Classical Greek and Indian mathematicians made studies of the theory of rational numbers, as part of the general study of number theory. The best known of these is Euclid's Elements, dating to roughly 300 BC. Of the Indian texts, the most relevant is the Sthananga Sutra, which ... covers number theory as part of a general study of mathematics.

Note that the problem did not ask for the value of the variable n; it asked for the identity of two numbers. So the answer is not "n = 7"; the actual answer is "The numbers are 7 and 8."
